Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Sensgreen is a building technology company offering an all-in-one smart building platform for commercial buildings such as offices, malls, hospitals and hotels. The platform combines wireless LoRaWAN sensors that measure temperature, indoor air quality, energy use and occupancy with cloud software that visualizes and analyzes the resulting data and automates HVAC operation. Core capability areas are grouped as connect (device registration, installation and commissioning, device management and integration with existing building systems), visualize (2D/3D floor plans, comparative and trend charts, heatmaps), analyze (AI-generated reports, anomaly detection, HVAC control recommendations) and optimize (machine learning-driven control, automated scheduling, demand response, load balancing, temperature/humidity and lighting control, preventive maintenance planning).

Solution packages include energy management, indoor air quality monitoring, occupancy analytics, smart cleaning, and smart air-conditioner and radiator control for split ACs and radiators. Platform components are marketed as Cloud BMS, Wireless BMS and an Integration Hub, with features such as Automation, Notification Builder, Boards, Analytics and Device Manager, plus public API documentation. The company states 50+ integrations covering BMS platforms, communication protocols, LoRaWAN sensors and network servers, and positions the system as deployable without new cabling. In 2026 it introduced Sensei, an AI assistant that responds to plain-language requests, reasons over live building data, proposes changes with expected savings, executes them after user approval and verifies results.

Third-party business-information sources classify Sensgreen as an IoT/IT services firm headquartered in Abu Dhabi delivering applications for energy efficiency, sustainability scoring and WELL, LEED and RESET compliance, as well as facility management efficiency and data-driven maintenance decisions, serving customers in more than 12 countries through a partner network.

Founding story

The founding team's backgrounds span building sciences, energy economics and building retrofit. According to co-founder and CEO Hasan Basri Tosun, the founders observed substantial inefficiency in how large commercial facilities are operated — for example empty spaces being cooled and ventilated while occupants remained dissatisfied with temperatures — which prompted them to build a product enabling building managers to make data-driven decisions. Co-founders include CTO Mehmet Yiğitcan Yeşilata (machine learning, IoT and building science; previously a researcher on the SinBerBest smart building project between UC Berkeley and the National University of Singapore), VP of Engineering Fatih Aykut Yıldırım (electrical and electronic engineering, building automation, embedded Linux, Modbus/BACnet/KNX, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Sigfox, BLE) and COO Ahmet Yigit Kazanc (over 15 years in clean tech, co-founder of Energy Crossroads at Stanford University and of Corycos Group and Kern River Holdings).

Business model

Sensgreen sells a B2B smart building offering that combines wireless IoT hardware with a subscription software platform, reported as a mix of hardware plus subscription, SaaS, hardware sales and services. Buyers can book a demo with the sales team or start with a free tier/trial, and the company runs a channel partner program allowing partners to resell the product, add it to their portfolios or embed it in their own platforms.

Revenue comes from a combination of sensor and controller hardware and recurring software subscriptions, supplemented by services; a free entry tier and paid demos lead into subscription deployments, and channel partners resell or embed the platform. One third-party source estimates annual revenue in the $10M-$25M range.

Traction

The company's website reports more than 350 buildings running on the platform, over 80 supported devices and integrations and more than 50,000 data points processed in real time. Customer and partner testimonials cite 30% improvement in energy efficiency at one technical services firm, a 17% reduction in energy consumption through a partnership, and integration of 500 devices to a BMS in a single day. Case studies describe deployments including office lighting automation in Dubai, edge-based IAQ monitoring at a Bahrain mall, split AC control in a Philippines office, CO monitoring in an Abu Dhabi government building, portfolio-wide IAQ optimization and a luxury villa project in Dubai, and cloud BMS analytics for an office campus in Chennai.

Latest developments

The company has introduced Sensei, an AI agent for building operations that diagnoses issues, recommends and implements optimizations on approval and verifies the results. Its platform positioning has broadened to Cloud BMS, Wireless BMS and an Integration Hub alongside energy, IAQ, occupancy and smart AC/radiator control solutions. A secondary-market data provider lists a SAFE financing dated July 30, 2025 and estimates the company's valuation at $2.5 million.

Market position

Sensgreen operates in the smart buildings / PropTech segment covering building automation, energy management and indoor environmental quality. Third-party datasets group it with companies such as 75F, BrainBox AI, Nuuka Solutions and Buildings IOT. Its site reports more than 350 buildings running on the platform and over 80 supported devices and integrations.

Sensgreen emphasizes wireless, retrofit-friendly deployment — LoRaWAN sensors requiring no new cabling and rapid commissioning — combined with breadth of integration across BMS platforms, protocols (Modbus, BACnet, KNX) and wireless technologies, so that energy, air quality and occupancy data appear in a single dashboard. A customer reference cites connecting 500 devices to a BMS in one day using the device manager. The addition of the Sensei AI layer, which both recommends and executes HVAC changes and then verifies savings, is presented as extending the platform from monitoring to closed-loop optimization.

Technology

The stack pairs wireless LoRaWAN sensors and wireless controllers for split ACs and radiators with a cloud platform for device management, visualization, analytics and automation. Integrations span BMS platforms, building protocols such as Modbus, BACnet and KNX, wireless IoT protocols including LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Sigfox and BLE, LoRaWAN sensors and network servers, and embedded Linux-based systems. Machine learning and AI are used for report generation, anomaly and pattern detection, HVAC control recommendations, predictive maintenance and the Sensei natural-language agent. A third-party profile lists cloud infrastructure across AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.

Go-to-market

Sensgreen combines direct sales — demo requests and a self-serve free start option on its website — with a channel partner program aimed at resellers and platform integrators. It works with facility management companies, ESCOs, automation integrators and sustainability consultancies as partners and references, and publishes case studies, blog posts, eBooks and API documentation as supporting material. Participation in the Hub71 ecosystem in Abu Dhabi supported business development and regional expansion.

Operators and owners of commercial buildings — offices, shopping malls, hospitals and hotels — including facility managers, sustainability managers, application engineers and asset managers. Third-party profiles add facility management companies, ESCOs, smart building and smart city solution providers and asset managers as customer categories, with use cases spanning energy efficiency, sustainability scoring and WELL, LEED and RESET compliance.

Geography

As of a 2021 interview the company had offices in Singapore, Ankara and Abu Dhabi. Business-data sources list Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates as headquarters and describe operations in more than 12 countries via a partner network and local presence, with employees across Asia, Europe and North America. Published case studies cover deployments in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, the Philippines and Chennai, India, and customer references come from companies in the UAE.

History

The company was founded by a team with backgrounds in building science, energy economics and building retrofit, and describes itself as having grown from a three-person startup into a building technology company. By mid-2021 it operated offices in Singapore, Ankara and Abu Dhabi with a team of 25 and was part of the Hub71 ecosystem in Abu Dhabi, which its CEO credited with enabling the establishment of a regional headquarters there. In December 2022 press reported a $2.5 million investment from Alesta Investment. The product line has since expanded from air quality and energy monitoring into cloud and wireless BMS, occupancy analytics, HVAC automation and, most recently, an AI assistant called Sensei.

Risks & controversies

Publicly available data on the company is inconsistent: third-party providers report differing founding years (2017 versus 2018), employee counts and funding totals (for example $347,500 versus $501K aggregate), and headcount reported in 2021 (25 people) is higher than the 11-50 range listed by data vendors in 2026. Estimated valuation and revenue figures come from data vendors rather than company statements.
